Bradman Young Cricketer Of The Year
The Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year Award is presented annually at the prestigious Allan Border Medal Dinner convened by Cricket Australia. It has been awarded since 1990 and is The Bradman Foundation’s principal award of recognition to elite cricketers.
All contracted first-class players are given one vote to select the best player under the age of 24, and who has played not more than 10 first-class matches before 26 January each year. Players are not allowed to vote for their team-mates.
Many of the previous recipients have progressed to distinguish themselves at Test and ODI level.
The recipient is presented with a bat personally signed by Sir Donald Bradman. Sir Donald signed 100 bats in 1989 so, through this award, there will remain a direct connection between the world’s greatest batsman and high achieving young Australian cricketers throughout most of the 21st Century.
